English and Dutch: from the rare medieval female personal name
Eve, Eva (from Hebrew Chava, of uncertain
origin). This was, according to the Book of Genesis, the name of the
first woman, and in some cases the name may have been acquired by
someone (invariably a man) who had played the part in a drama dealing
with the Creation.
